There are several reasons:

  • different operating systems often use different incompatible file systems, some of which (e.g. VAX VMS, OpenVMS, UCSD p-System, MAC OS) supported file types that were not supported by other file systems
  • different operating systems sometimes use different character sets (e.g. ASCII, EBCDIC, FIELDATA, DEC Radix-50, VISCII, CDC display code)
  • different operating systems often ran on hardware using different incompatible voltages for the logic levels
  • different operating systems often used different physically incompatible storage media (e.g. 7 track half inch magnetic tape, 8 track half inch magnetic tape, one inch magnetic tape, many different magnetic tape cartridges, multiplatter removable hard disks, 14 inch removable single platter hard disks, 8 inch floppy disks, 5 inch floppy disks, 3 inch floppy disks) and disks might be either hard sectored or soft sectored as another incompatibility
  • etc.

What substance that reduces friction between moving parts?

A lubricant, such as oil or grease, is used to reduce friction between moving parts by creating a protective film that separates the surfaces and allows them to slide smoothly against each other. Lubricants help to minimize wear and heat generation in mechanical systems.


Lubrication prevents damage from heat and friction and keeps the moving parts operating efficiently?

Yes, lubrication creates a protective barrier between moving parts to reduce friction and heat, preventing wear and damage. Proper lubrication ensures smooth operation and longevity of machinery and equipment.
